Good episode last night. But I'm starting to feel some of the meeting up of certain characters isn't from the books. It seem a bit, convenient. Loved the end few minutes with Daenarys and her.....

I am a bit luke warm so far this year. Still like it, but not as much as the previous seasons. There have been a few departures, which I am ok with as long as they make sense.
[spoiler]Sansa being seen by Brienne and Pod in a public setting doesn't make sense - all those witnesses will have tongues wagging, and it will get back to everyone that Petyr Littlefinger is harboring her.
Bron going off with Jaime to rescue Mycella - not in the book, but I can understand it.
John's story is aligned with the book so far for the most part - with some minor changes in who is opposing him.
The Arya story change a little bit, but still is sticking to her basic storyline.
The bit with Daenrys disappointed me - her peopel who adored her suddently pelting her with stones and hissing..
Tyrion is great, and him being with Varys is fine - Varys is taking that role form Magister Illyrio from the books - but it makes sense[/spoiler]

Only two episodes in so far. I'm liking it. But there do seem to be a fair amount of convenient things happening.

Don't get me wrong, I still like it - but it hasn't knocked my socks off like every episode of the earlier seasons did.

Most seasons seem to take awhile to build it seems to me. Plus the story is kind of at a juncture point it seems and is setting up a lot to come, it looks like to me.

Good episode.

I still am having trouble adjusting to one of the changed storylines:
[spoiler]Little finger openly handing Sansa over to Ramsay Bolton. There will be hell to pay. Since Sansa is suspected of poisoning Joffrey - the queen will know Little Finger has been hiding her. In the books, we still don't know his game, but I don't think giving Sansa to the Boltons is part of it.
Other story lines are more or less in the book direction[/spoiler]

I hear you Pete, but their thinking is why have a minor character in a storyline that a major character can thrive in, and it makes sense.

What do you think of the latest episode? Some pretty big things going on..
[spoiler]Is Barristan Selmy dead?

I cannot wait until Daenyrs meets Tyrion - looks like that might be next week - or at least he sees one of the dragons next week.

Still not digging the change in story lines - the whole Sansa - Petyr thing doesn't make sense - But I am enjoying the show[/spoiler]

The Sansa stuff does seem weird and forced. They seem to be building up to something big.

Good episode.

[spoiler]That was pretty cool when Tyrion saw the Dragon. A bit strange that they were in the ruins of Valerya. Looks like poor Jorah Mormont has grayscale. So they combined his character with another in the book - jon Connington.[/spoiler]

Rico · May 11, 2015, 05:22:37 PM

Yeah, it had some cool moments in it. I like what Jon Snow is doing. One tiny thing I don't quite get...

[spoiler]I thought Theon knows he didn't actually kill the Stark boys. Doesn't he know that? Am I recalling that wrong?[/spoiler]

Bromptonboy · May 11, 2015, 05:36:28 PM

[spoiler]In the books, both Theon and Ramsey know that the stark boys are still alive. I think in the show, only Theon knows. But if he tells Sansa, that means she is not the heir to Winterfell - as he claim would come after her living brothers[/spoiler]

It still doesn't quite make sense to me. I'm also really tired of Ramsey. What a sick piece of work he is.

Yes, I don't like him either. He is worse in the books.
